+===== VLC Crashing =====
+Problem with 3.0.9.2 in Mint Cinnamon 20.1, if you try to close a window while you have a video playing without first stopping the playback, the window will not close and the app hangs, totally. It will not quit, close or any other exit, I have to go into the system monitor and kill the process to get rid of it.
+Problem fixed in VLC 3.0.12, but not in repos as of April 2021. Unofficial PPA:
+<code>
+sudo add-apt-repository ppa:savoury1/vlc3
+sudo add-apt-repository ppa:savoury1/ffmpeg4
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install vlc
